Call for Proposals
The International Network on Feminist Approaches to Bioethics is pleased to
invite proposals for panels and papers for presentation at the 2014 World
Congress in Mexico City, 22-24 June 2014. The Congress theme is Health Care
Ethics: Local, Global, Universal. While FAB encourages submissions on this
theme, submissions on any topic in feminist bioethics are welcome. Paper
abstracts should be 300 words long, prepared for anonymous review, and
accompanied by both a descriptive title for the paper proposed and 2-3
keywords. Proposed panels should also be prepared for anonymous review and
consist of a 300-word description of the overall topic and objectives of the
panel, as well as a panel title and the titles of all the papers to be
included in the panel. All submissions should include the names, email
addresses, and full affiliations of all authors. In cases of panels and
coauthored papers, please identify a corresponding author. One or two
submitted papers may be selected for plenary presentations. If you wish your
paper to be considered for a plenary, please submit the full paper and
indicate that you seek review for a plenary. The conference organizers
welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplines, including philosophy,
the social sciences, critical cultural studies (gender and sexuality
studies, disability studies, race studies, etc.), law, public health, and
others. We particularly encourage submissions from early career researchers.
